Good Gentles of the Midlands,

Kindly forgive the massive cross posting.

As you may have heard at this time, I am hosting a silent auction at Rites of Spring to benefit the an SCA family in Ravenslake. Without going into detail, significant health problems have been taking their toll on this family, as both mother and father have been facing repeated major medical issues. Due to those issues, there is an equally significant financial impact. The family of six is active within their shire and they are the kind of people you can be certain would answer this call for someone need.

Therefore I am making a request of all those who are able. Please Donate. Please Bid.

So far, I have received some cloth, a few resource books, some decorated pottery, many semi-precious gems, and some other handmade jewelry. We need more items.

Ideas for donations (but not limited to said list):

Metal embellishments, buttons, belt or cloak clasps, etc.

Plumes

Cloth in natural fibers

Headwear such as veils, wimples, barbettes, hats, etc.

Medieval Shoes

Indulgence baskets such as jams/jellies/cookies/soaps/candles, etc.

Resource books

Services (i.e. This Bard will Sing this Song for you at Feast at This Event)

Bladed Things

Armor Things

Archery Things

Rapier Things

Youth Combat Things

Jewelry

Furniture

Games and Puzzles

Feast Gear

Leather accessories

Scribal items

Kindly contact me with your donations at this email, and bring said items to the Spicewell's Booth at Rites of Spring.

Any item not receiving a bid will be passed on to the Ravenslake-hosted Silent Auction to benefit this family planned at Border Skirmish.

In addition, the famously delicious and rarely seen von Andersnaks cookies will be available at the Celtic Sun/Ravenslake benefit bake sale. A portion of proceeds from Spicewell's will also be going to the family.

Midlands, I am asking each of you to help make a difference. If you have questions, please contact me directly *off-list* at midlandsseneschal@....

Yours In Service,

THL Caitriona MacDhonnachaidh
